A book about life, love, and getting though the hardest days with a smile on your face.
Journal entries and poems from one girls life.
Writing can sometimes be the only escape anyone has to get their feelings out without having to feel like anyone is judging them for feeling a way that seems different than their own. Keeping The Gleam is the authors expression of life experiences, trials, accomplishments, breakthroughs, and breakdowns from her life that took a few unexpected turns on the road to finding herself and growing up.
Excerpt
The end of the Prologue...
"I hope you read this and feel a connection to the words in at least one thing I have said, and if not then that's okay too. Just know that in any circumstance the feelings you feel, the sadness, happiness, anger, excitement, anything... I feel them too. And you'll be just fine. Promise."

I Bought This Book On A Mere Chance...
I bought this book on a mere chance when I saw it on Publish America's website, just to see what it was about. The description does not give this book justice. She is detailed in her work and she lets you know, to the point, exactly how she or whoever she is writing about feels. We all know others experience things but we never stop to think about it. This books proves to you right on paper the truth of what feelings we are all afraid to talk about.
Aside from some bad spelling (which I'm not sure what intended or just a mistake) it was an all around good read.
I recommend it!
